The vent diaphragm is probably not necessary at all, but the way the filter base is set up it will suck saw dust in that little area. I had to plug that hole off with something so I just use the vented cover.
I like the top cover vents on those. JUST MAKES SCENSE .!! I have 025 on the bench and it doesn’t have the summer shield I’ll tell you what that air chamber pressurized like something else. I honestly think it’s messing with these Chinese carbs.
@@JKSawShop yea my buddy got this saw and someone replaced the carb already. So I have two sitting here. I am going to make a winter summer door for this and give it better breathing capability I think the positive pressure is hurting the saw .!!!
@@JKSawShop ❤️🔥🦾💪🏻☀️I made the same observation on the 42cc homelite. Cut a hole rite over the filter and added a screen. The homelite said thank you very much. I hope this helps.
@@JKSawShop yes. I haven't bought one yet because I didn't know what the tube on top was that goes to the air filter. All the adjustable ones lack that
Watching all these chainsaw videos I fell like in need to tear apart one of Tazmans saws and try to put it back together 😂 Just kidding he would probably kill me
@@JKSawShop did you have a chance to do that and how did you make out? I've got 6 MS170's with Zama (1 adjustment screw) sitting on the shelf that won't run off idle and I've heard the Walbro carb with 2 screws fix the problem. But are they worth doing?
Bless you JK for all you do for us:)
That’s a great upgrade! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
Gonna have to do another vid on it now
Well done 👍
It’s better than the fixed jet carbs
Good lil saws my dad had 1.
Nice swap... congrats on 300 subs🎉🥳
I seen that today, I am amazed at the support I have gotten here. Thank you Aaron.
@@JKSawShop yes sir🤙🏻🪓🪓😎
Good
It worked, just had to do a little modification. Easy to convert though.
Is the vented diaphragm cover necessary? I did this upgrade on my saw with a ported muffler and advanced timing.

I found it alot easier to pop the plate off the trigger housing and pull off the trigger spring then the trigger.
It would be easier for sure
Do they make one with a primer bulb? My only issue is priming after refueling.
I don’t think so but it would take a completely different carb setup
Where did you buy the carburetor.. from stihl
I think I just ordered an adjustable carb for a 017 from eBay

Sometimes I’ve had good luck and sometimes I’ve had horrible luck with the Chinese carbs.

@@ScrewdriverTUNING do it, will never know if you don’t

I have a litter 180c this needs done to. That single jet carb is the worst thing Stihl ever did! 😆
Pretty much made them a throw away saw in my opinion.
Doug if they have Zama carbs try installing the "clear" pump diaphragm instead of the black rubber-like one.
I have 2 of them 170's from 2005 and 2006 and they both still run fine on the fixed settings. I'm gonna tune them up so I need the adjustable one now.
@MF175mp I think I’ve already answered that in comment to you on another video
@@JKSawShop yes. I haven't bought one yet because I didn't know what the tube on top was that goes to the air filter. All the adjustable ones lack that
Maybe i missed it but the impulse line on the 170 is different. You need to pop out the brass plug on the new carb
That carburetor is for a 017/018
What carb are you using in this video?
It was aftermarket carb for a Stihl 017/018
That saw needed a good clean before doing this job!
I had to back up and punt it did have bad bearings
Hi what name is on the carb you put on this ms 170 chainsaw
It is a generic one for a 017

You can do it, I got faith in you
🤣🤣🤣...do it
😂 y’all are gonna get me into trouble
@@MOMMATAZ81 best learning experience is hands on.
@@MOMMATAZ81 🤣🤣🤣😜
I was recently told you can use an ms250 carburetor on the 170s. Is that true?
I have not tried that yet, but I will look into that I do have a 180 sitting around and a couple of O25 carburetors.

@@donmayberryjrsOPE I have not yet, I haven’t been to the shop today. I went to church today for both services.
@@JKSawShop please somehow let me know when you get a chance please
@@donmayberryjrsOPE I will do
Port that lil booger it be a lil pocket rocket.
Well it may happen before it’s over with
On stihl ms 170 cant go adjustdable carb.You just break the law of the stihl
017/018 had adjustable carbs, I think that was the downfall of stihl after the went away from that
